Wanna do the same to mine cause they look awesome.

Thanks. They were painted by BBI Autosport in Huntington Beach, CA. Give them a call if you are in the area, ask for Betim or Joey they will hook you up

Any suggestions?

Currently, as far as I know nobody has a product finished and for sale yet. However, a tuner I work with in the Los Angeles area is in the process of building one for mine (Gintani Motorsports
www.gintani.com). I will post pics and dyno results once the install is complete!

Any other advice on the M5? You pretty much stated it is a nice balance of most of the cars you have owned but does not excel in any one category, which confirms my decision of having an M5 as a daily for a big dude like me  (6'4 over 200 lbs) |
I just picked up my GTR from BBI Autosport yesterday with a few new mods. We had been building a 6 point roll bar for a while now which was finalized and finished with a matte silver coat. We removed the rear seats and installed modified PasswordJDM dry carbon rear seat delete inserts. A custom made alcantara headliner in charcoal that wraps around all pillars (including the sun visors) was installed, the grip portions of the steering wheel and E brake handle as well. BBI fabricated an under-chassis mounted transmission cooler after testing a set of Pagid track/street mixture pads on the track with minimal results we elected to go with a full race pad. Both will be tested soon on track when the rainstorms that started this morning stop later on this week. I will post some pics soon.
Advice on the M5: don't buy one, get an X5M instead.
